  • In 1899 Konrad Hopferwieser built a new organ with 28 stops for the parish church of Gleisdorf. It was an organ that was typical for the instrument of this period, with many ground stops. The organ was dedicated on September 15, 1899. The organ was constructed with mechanical key action for the first manual (Hauptwerk) and pedal, and pneumatic key action for the second manual (Oberwerk). The stop action was pneumatic. The wind chests were cone chests.
  • In 1961 it was decided to have the organ overhauled and the instrument was converted to a more baroque character by the Gebrüder Krenn.
  • The result was not satisfactory. Because many failures also occurred, it was decided in 2000 to have an entirely new organ built in Hopferwieser's case by the company Škovijska Orglarska Delavnica. The instrument was dedicated in 2002. The new organ has fourty stops. It was dedicated on October 12, 2002.
